Lovely, friendly staff, beautifully decorated, delicious breakfast. Comfortable bed. All the lights flickered in our room periodically, but it’s an old building so I guess that adds to the charm!

Lovely hotel and very nice staff. Very conveniently located in the town and for visiting the castle. We gave 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1) although they allow dogs in the rooms, they're not allowed in the breakfast room so they suggested we either left our dog in our room on her own (which we did and she barked continuously) or we breakfast separately - most places have a dog-friendly eating area; and 2) parking is quite a challenge. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

We had the pleasure of staying at The Cookie Jar in Alnwick last night, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! The hotel itself is stunning, blending charm and elegance beautifully. Every detail is carefully thought out, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cleanliness was impeccable; every corner of the hotel felt immaculate, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were truly outstanding—so friendly, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring that our stay was perfect. They went above and beyond in every way, making us feel really welcomed and valued. Overall, our time at The Cookie Jar was simply wonderful, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, well-kept place with amazing service, this is the place to come ❤️

From check in to breakfast we have been made most welcome by the friendly attentive staff. We were upgraded on arrival to the Holy Island room which is one of the nicest rooms we have stayed in. Will definitely look to come back possibly in the summer to enjoy the garden/ patio area.

This was our second time at The Cookie Jar and I think we grew even fonder of it than last time. It is just a very special place to stay, with incredibly attentive, confident staff and every detail thought through. This is a gem in a beautiful, historic town - not to be missed!

The former convent was an answer to our prayers!
Fabulous stay in a former convent no less! Individually decorated rooms and loads of extra touches to make your stay enjoyable. Excellent service and a wonderful breakfast (the restaurant also serves afternoon tea and dinner - we didn’t sample those but would guess they would also be lovely). The hotel is very close to a pedestrian entrance to Alnwick Castle, so is a great base to explore the castle and gardens. Parking in Alnwick seems to be free everywhere, but take care as some is time limited.
